One of my favorite verses is Ephesians 3:20, "God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us." (The Message)I consider myself a pretty big dreamer. I set very high goals, some of which I achieve and others I don't achieve, but have fun trying. So, when God says that He will do more that I can dream, it just entices me. Oh, but when He gives me a little glimpse of what that means it excites me! Have you ever gotten a SURPRISE from God? You think that He has worked out an issue in one way, and then, He adds on to the blessing in a way you never expected. And, He doesn't just make us robots that ALWAYS do the right thing, but He works within us urging us by His Spirit to move in the right direction.That is what Ephesians 3:20 is all about. When you live an obedient life, God will make ways that you never even thought about. So, why do I try to figure Him out? I guess that is the lesson. God is saying, "I've got this all under control. You can just rest in me. You don't have to know how I'm going to do it. Just know that I'm going to do it." Watch Him work things out and He will BLOW YOUR MIND!
